Summary/Abstract: Zoltán Inokai Tóth (1911–1956) was a historian and professor at the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. His father originally came from a Calvinist family of landed peasants from the Bánság region. He later rose to the position of a high-ranking financial civil servant and strove to provide his son with the best education available for the urban bourgeoisie, which included musical tuition too. Young Zoltán Tóth became a good violinist, and hoped to become a professional musician during his university years studying history and theology. Even after becoming a secondary school teacher in the 1930s, he continued to dream of a musical career. He compiled the catalogue of the family’s musical library in the summer of 1937 at Temesvár (Timişoara, Romania). German-influenced Central European art music as cultural consumer goods for the educated middle class was fundamentally shaped by sheet music publishing and musical education. The study of the 228 titles in this catalogue reveals how these characteristics became integrated into the view of society prevalent among middle class intellectuals at the time.
